Summary

Hours before the first round of the NFL Draft a bombshell story emerged that Aaron Rodgers told Green Bay personnel that he does not want to return to the Packers. Now it’s up to the team to try and salvage the situation and retain their franchise quarterback. After weeks of speculation the San Francisco 49ers took North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance with the 3rd overall pick. It’s a high-risk, high-reward move that will define Kyle Shanahan’s legacy. The Chicago Bears traded up to grab Justin Fields, Bill Belichick finds his QB in Mac Jones, and Urban Meyer takes Clemson’s entire backfield.
